IT LIFTS, IT GATHERS, IT PERFORMS

City of Dreams Pavilion

The dreamcatcher, a pavilion where
imaginations are lifted, elevating your dreams. It’s a pavilion that captures dreams
at the idyllic meeting point of Governors Island, where people from all parts
of New York can gather and encounter an experience unlike any other. We are
proposing a simple, circular, lightweight structure that captures and
establishes a changing collection of balloons. Why balloons? Because they’re
joyful, uplifting and downright dreamy. Choose your shade, let your balloon go
and dream a little dream.

COMPETITION BRIEF The City of
Dreams Pavilion, a gathering place for people to meet, learn about the arts
programs on the island, enjoy a performance or lecture, and experience the
interaction of art and the historic context of Governors Island. Our theme for
the pavilion, the City of Dreams, points towards the future. If we imagine a
future in New York City where anything is possible, what would it look like? In
our wildest and most optimistic dreams, what is the future of the city?
